The question is often asked:

here presented:
During the months of January,
February, March and April, 1886,
there were shipped to Meridian

From our regular correspondent.
WAsnINGToN, May 23rd 1887.
To-day more than a thousand
tents whiten the greensward that
stretc IA es around the Washing
ton Monument. The troops are
now all here who intended tc
participate in the National Drill,
and they represent the Alabama,
Arkansas, Connecticut, Colorado,
Dakota Indiana. Illinois. Iowa,

Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Ohio, Rhode
Island. Texas, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, Washington Territory and
the District Of Columbia.
The Drill opened this morning,
but the day was consumed by
some formaIlties such as naming
the camp, issuing orders, receiy-
ing the latest arrivals Of troops
etc, and this evening there was a
dress parade by all Of the organ
lzatIons encamped, but the com
pctitiyc drill begins Tomorrow.
The soldiers here represent the
flower Of the National Guard OF
their States, and many Of the
commands are noted for their
excellent discipline, and won
trophies in State and interstate
drills.
Such q camp has not been seen
in this country since the veterans
of The civil war broke their
camp in '65. Now the soldiers
of the North, South, East and
West assemble in one camp and
contend in friendly strife for the
trophies Of the peaceful drill
ground. The week will be ex-
ceedingIy lively in Washington.
